I had no idea Santorini was such a beautiful place <3 I love your photos 🙂 I've always thought of Greece as a historic and cultural destination but Santorini seems like it has so much more to offer. Thanks for sharing your stunning photo shots!

Hi Ivan! Thanks for coming to my blog! Happy to help!

When I went in January 2016, at Oia, I only found one (or at most 2) restaurant that opened for lunch, the rest were all shut. As for souvenir stores, I also didn’t see any open there, though there might be one as I saw lights coming from a little shop while waiting for sunset. Didn’t get to see closer as I was rushing to go wait for the last bus back to Oia after sunset. There’s a little minimart near the area where you wait for the bus. Oia is generally quiet during winter.

However, at Fira, at the square area (where the bus station and taxi station would be at), there would be ample eateries, convenient stores, also souvenir shops, for daytime or dinner too, so staying at Fira near the square is a good idea, unless you rent a car to get around. The cliff road from Oia to Fira has no road-lights though.

Imeroglivi is very quiet (I was there on a weekday afternoon). I saw a closed minimart, very few humans, though I did have a simple lunch of gyro at a small eatery.

If you haven’t seen, this mini guide about off-season travel in Santorini which I wrote when I got back, might provide you some insight!

As for Athens, I only transited at the airport and didn’t step out. Sorry I can’t answer about the crowd levels there.

Feel free to ask me anything further! 🙂

Some informations provided in your writings is really resourceful too. To my amazement, Santorini is really kind of deserted during the off peak season of which Dave’s Santorini travel blog does seems to include that there was slight improvement in winter travellers and more & more amenities & eateries opening up to cater for such. However, may I enquire are there ample souvenir shops & supermarkets/convenient stores that open in January? And what about Athens? Is it that quiet in and around the Plaka area? Thanks a million coz I am presently contemplating to pay a visit to Athens & Santorini in January next year and thats why I am anxiously doing some research here. Thanks again.

Thanks Gabby! Hahaha, you’re right about no one in the photos! Well at least there was a dog.. and some cars LOL. There was one afternoon that I took a REALLY quiet walk along the road and saw all these stunning sceneries and it was just me facing them! Santorini is so breathtaking ^^

Hi Noemi! I went in winter in Jan, in low degrees and no guarantees of sunny weather (but I was there for enough days and was lucky to get some sun). There were really very few people around, in fact, the photos of Oia were in the afternoon. I could wander around on my own and get all these pictures!

You must visit Santorini, Lottie! I’m looking to visit other Greek islands when I have a chance too! =)

What I’m wondering is, how were you able to take these photos without any people in it? I’ve been there both during a peak season so it was impossible for me to not have anyone in the photos even if I wake up really very early. Did you go during the off peak season?

Same here, it’s really a very beautiful city. I can’t wait to go back and check out other villages in Santorini too!
